With these specifications, the LG G4 is the ideal device for many people, not forgetting about the premium leather back. But to get full advantage of the LG G4 system, a custom recovery is required. With a custom recovery you can install ROMs, kernels, mods and much more to enhance the OS.

TWRP, the most popular custom recovery for Android devices has now reached the LG G4. TWRP is a powerful and very flexible recovery which can flash zip files (ROMs & mods), make and restore a full Nandroid system backup, wipe data and perform a factory reset.

Hi, can I use the last method (fastboot boot twrp-2.8.6.0-h815.img) also if my phone has the bootloader locked?. I tried to unlock with the official LG procedure but when I insert my phone imei and appear a message saying that bootloader unlock is not avaiable with my phone model.

The last command does not flash the recovery, it boots it from the image. Great option to keep stock recovery to support ota updates.
